STRUCT MLXREG_IO_PRIV_DATA(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

struct mlxreg_io_priv_data — the driver's very own private data, bestie 💅 no cap, this is literally where the driver keeps its stuff

So real quick — this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's all about one lil struct. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct mlxreg_io_priv_data {
    struct platform_device *pdev;
    struct mlxreg_core_platform_data *pdata;
    struct device *hwmon;
    struct attribute *mlxreg_io_attr[MLXREG_IO_ATT_NUM + 1];
    struct sensor_device_attribute mlxreg_io_dev_attr[MLXREG_IO_ATT_NUM];
    struct attribute_group group;
    const struct attribute_group *groups[2];
    int regsize;
    struct mutex io_lock;
 };

That's the whole struct, served fresh 🌸 keep it exactly as-is, okay? Every member, every bracket, every + 1 matters 👑

🌈 Members 🌈

Ok so these are the fields, and yes we're doing all of them because none of them are boring:

• pdev — the platform device 🧚 that's it, that's the field
• pdata — the platform data 🍓
• hwmon — the hwmon device 💖
• mlxreg_io_attr — the sysfs attributes array ✨ say it with me: sysfs attributes array
• mlxreg_io_dev_attr — the sysfs sensor device attribute array 👑 that one's a whole mouthful but we respect it
• group — the sysfs attribute group 🦋
• groups — the list of sysfs attribute groups used for hwmon registration, and yeah it's groups plural next to group singular, that's just how it is, don't come for me 💀
• regsize — the size of a register value ⭐
• io_lock — user access locking 🔥 this is a struct mutex, so like… mutual exclusion, respect the lock fr fr

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

• Kernel file ./drivers/platform/mellanox/mlxreg-io.c — like, literally go read it, iykyk 💜

aaaand that's the page!! 🎀 ok so the source is ./drivers/platform/mellanox, the date on this one is October 2026, and the whole thing is struct mlxreg_io_priv_data(9) — section 9, Kernel API Manual, iconic behavior only 💅✨ 🌸
